Well I got bored / tired of kubuntu and wanted to try something new. Arch users have always had this smug sense of superiority about them, so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. The install script crashed and none of the partitioning stuff would "stick". You'd change it and it would...

I watched this a week ago, popped up on my recommended. Had some info I didn't know.

Yea it has been years but I remember all the action being around level 1 and 2 spells. It's not like the crazy fights in bg2 with mages stopping time and blasting everything into dust. It is rough if you don't have initiative though.

This is a really neat video on collision detection of convex shapes. I've always used geometric solutions, but definitely going to try this for capsule/sphere/box in motion.

I didn't even know they made exodus on snes! I've always wanted to try some coding on the ps3. All those little simd cores to play around with. I got mine out over the weekend and experimented but the firmware on it is just too new to do much with. I could write some code and get it on there...

It worked both ways yea. It made all the defensive wizard spells worthwhile though. Like my wizards in bg/iwd never bothered with blur or protection from normal missiles etc. In this game, that was your first cast. The radius spells were great in that game too, like you could see the radius...

The arena style everyone stands in a certain spot and jumps forward to attack thing just seemed lazy. Like they couldn't figure out how to pathfind so just had everyone stand still. Then there was the unskippable little post fight sequences, the killing blow gets all the xp so your characters...

The main thing I really loved about elemental evil was you could have your archers opportunity attack enemy casters. That was a really cool addition. Makes archers feel useful.

I had a strange experience with might and magic 9. I had played 6 and I think I skipped 7 and played a little of 8, but 9 I bought and played all the way through and had a great time. I remember it having really good pacing. I didn't even know that it was badly rated. A few years later I...

The JRPG section was interesting. I've tried to get into them over the years and found them quite unplayable. It makes sense now that their main influences are previous games where western games are mostly influenced by D&D. Its kind of like AI's training off AI generated junk so eventually...

Wolfram has a good video that explores the space of a model. It is mostly empty. I'll see if I can find it. Hmm I wonder if you could use a cubic run length encoding pass to squash empty regions? derp, I posted it a month ago in the image thread. Generative AI Space and the Mental Imagery...

I watched Time Bandits a few weeks ago because it was mentioned as an Ultima influence. Was pretty good! Has Jon Irenicus as the villain, and Bilbo Baggins was Napoleon.

Try orthographic projection. Also see if civit has any ortho or mappy loras.

Need beeeeeeeeeeeeg gpu https://x.ai/blog/grok-os

Someone noticed from the onboard that the Ferrari kid's head was flopping around near the end of the race :emoji_laughing: Impressive that he could keep it out of the wall with his noggin bashing his headrest in.

Looks kinda leaky. I wonder if that is making it slowly turn.

Can really see the fire coming out of the moto2 bikes with the nighttime race:

I finally watched that. The influence on Ultima was clear :emoji_laughing: Bilbo Napoleon and Jon Irenicus the evil one.

No, instead of doing the combat math in a testbed or something, they just tied attacks to animation frames. The females had slower animations.

The spice waifu looking a bit like a jedi knight out there

Kmag making friends out there again haha. That was actually really entertaining with the brand new kid and the kmag fun.

Oops! Better send that to a journalist. Oh wait there aren't any anymore.

It sounds to me like they are saying "no evidence of aliens", but none of the earlier talk was about aliens either. It was non human intelligence. I haven't read the report because I'm writing swept capsule -> quadtree collision stuff today, but I'm guessing it focuses on aliens because that...

I wonder if they can do kunark start but with a couple weeks of guise of the deceiver dropping.

I heard you could use ascii art in the prompts to bypass restrictions. :emoji_laughing:

Redneck congress man wants some damn answers

What do you mean "poor"? That all sounds great to me.

Not sure. I've kind of done all the characters I wanted to try. Keep hoping they will open up more race/class combos. Maybe if the ruleset is fun or wacky

The overwatch espurts gang has loved Soe since she appeared in tracer costume for one of the european tournaments pre-league days. She's hosting the European tourney this month. So this game, no private servers? Probably no mods? How will we community modders fix all their bugs for them...

Tormax was a worthy foe, good server name! :emoji_crown:

I've been making Springy images today, but look at the watermark on this one: I don't think I've ever seen that happen. Looks like one of those stock image company's mark.

I had a box of their chai a few weeks ago, not bad, but they put soy lecethin in there. Messin with my fasting. Didn't know they made planes too.

Well the Korean weekend is over. I think a grand total of 8ish heroes were played and every match was a 3-0. Almost as bad as the start of the F1 season.

I think it is cool that they play at all. You'd be amazed how many developers don't play their own game (or even any games at all).

Found a neat tool called Gource that shows your repo activity:

The pro overwatch season has started and you can really notice when frames are dropped. I'm using firefox and I pulled up the stats and was dropping about 10% of the frames. Tried killing the compositor for laughs and it works, no frame drops. Shift-alt-F12. I use it a lot for when I'm...

Sounds like Unreal blueprint. We hates it forever! The worst part about it is the files are binary so you can't diff them and they don't work well with source control. Editors have come a long way though.
